​The UK and Tunisia have a strong relationship. The signing of the UK-Tunisia Association Agreement on 4 October, and the UK-Tunisia Investment Forum on 22 October 2019 are recent highlights of our growing bilateral co-operation. We are committed to supporting Tunisia’s political and economic reform, including through a programme of assistance worth over £12 million in 2019-2020. ​We look forward to working with the new Tunisian Government when it is formed and welcome Tunisia’s participation in the UK-Africa Investment Summit in London on 20 January.
